Body found on property of Tucson treatment facility identified as missing California man

Body was found on the property two weeks after Tucson treatment facility staff reported him missing

71-year-old Ken Litwack

A body discovered in a remote area on the property of the Sierra Tucson treatment facility on August 30 has been identified by the Pima County Medical Examiner's Office as Kenneth Litwack, 71, of Newport Beach, CA.

Litwack was reported missing from the facility on August 16 and his body was not discovered until two weeks later. On Tuesday, the Pinal County Sheriff's Office received a call from staff members who discovered the body during a horse ride.

When Litwack first went missing from the treatment center he had voluntarily checked into, staff members cleared the grounds and informed PCSO. Sheriff's deputies searched the perimeter of the facility with a K-9 and also flew over the area but found no sign of the missing man at that time.

The cause of death has not been determined.  There was no evidence at the scene of any foul play.
